Abstract
Each of at least three solar cell strings has a first end and a second end in a first direction each including a connector. At the first end and the second end, a wire member is provided to which the connector of the first end of each of at least two solar cell strings out of the at least three solar cell strings and the connector of the second end thereof are connected. A first sheet member is provided to allow the wire member at the first end to be located in a specific positional relationship with the wire member at the second end, and a second sheet member is provided to allow the wire member at the second end to be located in a specific positional relationship with the wire member at the first end.
Claims6
A solar cell module comprising:
- at least three solar cell strings, wherein each of the at least three solar cell strings is formed of a plurality of solar cells arranged in a first direction and electrically connected to each other, and is formed to have a first end and a second end along the first direction, and the at least three solar cell strings are disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction with spaces interposed respectively therebetween so as to form a light receiving surface on a front surface side;
- a first transparent plate disposed on the front surface side on which the light receiving surface is formed;
- and
- a second transparent plate disposed on a back surface side opposite to the front surface side, wherein
- each of the at least three solar cell strings comprises electrically connectable connectors at the first end and the second end,
- the solar cell module comprising wire members disposed at the first end and the second end so as to allow connectors at first ends of at least two solar cell strings out of the at least three solar cell strings to be electrically connected to each other, and to allow connectors at second ends thereof to be electrically connected to each other, and
- the solar cell module comprising:
- a first sheet member provided to allow the wire member disposed for each of the first ends to be located in a specific positional relationship with the wire member disposed for each of the second ends corresponding to the respective first ends;
- and
- a second sheet member provided to allow the wire member disposed for each of the second ends to be located in a specific positional relationship with the wire member disposed for each of the first ends corresponding to the respective second ends.
